Hôtel de Bagis, Renaissance private mansion in Toulouse, France

The Hôtel de Bagis is a Renaissance mansion located on Rue de la Dalbade in Toulouse, featuring a complete stone facade with eight bays framed by pilasters and decorative carved elements including trophy motifs and garlands. An inner courtyard surrounded by four building sections forms the core of the structure.

Jean de Bagis bought five houses on Rue de la Dalbade in 1533 and commissioned Nicolas Bachelier to build a new mansion in 1537. From 1609 to 1616, François de Clary and his wife Gabrielle de Guerrier had Pierre Souffron erect the stone street facade, left unfinished at Clary's death in 1616. Calvet-Besson had Urbain Vitry and sculptor Calmettes complete the carved decoration from 1855, and the hôtel was classified as a monument historique in 1889.

Toulouse residents call it the "hôtel de pierre" because its street facade is entirely of stone, unusual in a city built of brick. A local saying claimed there were more stones from the Pont-Neuf in the mansion than on the bridge, hinting that François de Clary diverted bridge stone. Above the doors, his coat of arms was hammered out during the French Revolution; Calvet-Besson later placed his arms and monogram there in 1855.

The mansion stands at 25 rue de la Dalbade, in the historic centre of Toulouse, a short walk from the Garonne. It is a private residence, so visitors stay on the street; the stone facade and its three arched portals are seen from the pavement, and the "PATRIMOINE" sign marks the protected building.

The street facade's carved decoration was only finished in 1855, when Calvet-Besson had Urbain Vitry and the sculptor Calmettes complete it and place François de Clary's coat of arms and monogram above the doors. Clary's own arms, set over the gates, were hammered out during the French Revolution.
